Description:

This course introduces students to the demands and conventions of academic reading, inquiry and analysis in tandem with critical and creative thinking. Critical reading focuses on analyzing texts, synthesizing materials, recognizing valid inferences, composing accurate summaries, and discerning main ideas. In addition, critical thinking focuses on evaluating hypotheses, determining relevance of information, determining whether evidence supports the main point, evaluating data for consistency, and recognizing flaws and inconsistencies in an argument.

Thus, Critical Reading/Critical Thinking's purpose is to create more skillful, better-prepared thinkers for college and for the workplace.
